Blomkamp, der sich mit der Umsetzung des Videospiels „Halo“ befasst hat, sprach über die ungewisse Zukunft des Movies. Wie bekannt ist, kommt die Verfilmung einfach nicht voran, was nicht wenige Fans verunsichert und auch verärgert. Zwar steht nicht fest, dass der Film definitiv tot ist, aber aktuelle Zeichen deuten nicht auf eine schnelle Wiederaufnahme des Projekts hin. Blomkamp ließ verlauten: [..] „The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration. It's not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of; there were two studios involved that weren't getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it's a fragile industry. So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it's been dead, ever since then. I'll be curious to see what happens.“ Hoffen wir, dass die Idee nicht ganz vom Tisch verschwindet, denn er gab auch bekannt: [..] “As I'm getting older one of the things I've realized most about this industry is never say never. That's the first thing. Right now, I can't see myself doing that film. But I'm not going to say that I'm not going to do it. So in the present moment, right now, I could take it or leave it. It doesn't matter to me anymore. There's too much interesting shit out there. The film has the capacity, if things line up correctly, to be, I think, really cool. But it ended up collapsing, and things happen for a reason.”
